Stormsnake

The Stormsnake is an incredibly dangerous and powerful serpent-like dragon that's as useful in battle as it is hard to defeat.

In-Game Description
"If a storm out at sea isn't already bad enough, the captain also has to keep an eye out for Stormsnakes. The fastest of fliers and the cruelest of creatures, they use their Lightning Ball attack to set fire to fleets of ships seemingly for the fun of it. Males are often called Lightning and females are often called Thunder. Adding 'do not approach' here would be redundant, as you cannot approach them; only they can approach you."

Where to Find


Stormsnakes are almost the rarest dragons in the game, second only to the legendary Brightburn. They make their nests on top of stone pillars jutting out of the ocean. In total, there are 5 Stormsnake nests, including 1 unguarded egg on The Shelf. A certain tedious nest can be found on the coast of the Glacial Maw, underneath a stone arch that's been weathered by the sea.

Because of their out-of-the-way location, it's recommended that players battle wild Stormsnakes with a dragon that doesn't easily tire. Dragon bone chests can often be found next to or nearby Stormsnake nests, as a reward for the valiant player who manages to defeat these mighty beasts.

Behavior
Stormsnakes are extremely aggressive and will relentlessly pursue the player by land, sea, and sky once provoked. They attack with a ball of lightning which itself has a wide range.

At the beginning of the game, Captain Surtr and his ship's crew are attacked by a herd of Stormsnakes while sailing through the Draconic Isles, causing the player to crash on the Rift and discover the Brightburn Sanctuary.

Appearance
Stormsnakes are the longest dragons in the game, spanning more than 14 blocks in length. Normal males are brown in color, and shiny male are gold and copper. Normal females are bright yellow, and shiny females are electric green and turquoise.

Drops
Upon death, Stormsnakes drop 1-4 Dragon Scales, Dragon Fangs, Dragon Bones, and Dragon Membranes. After hatching a Stormsnake egg, the player receives a Stormsnake relic, which can be offered to the Stormsnake statue in the Brightburn Sanctuary in return for information about its stats. The relic is not lost upon offering.

Relic
The Stormsnake Relic is a blue and pink pearl emitting white smoke with the following description:
